Well.. i flashed the last bootloader taken from here.. and now i have the "knox warranty void 1" (not 0x1) writed in grey (not white)

great :(

How many have thay?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
It shouldn't make difference . but I prefer to flash bl afterwards updating to 4.4

Even shouldn't cause issue, it's recommend to flash new bl. We don't have reason to stay on old bl like note2

Yes but 4.3 you reverts shouldn't have bootloader.

it's some other issue not room bcoz it's fine for others . Make sure you haven't removed all share application as bloatware.

Kit kat have totally new codes for battery. So old module won't work unless they are updated to make kit kat compatible
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] sentiere:
I haven't removed the bloatware. Specially I left them to be loaded. Remember doc. I have told you the issue before... After making my phone rooted, and while I was on stock rom, I have tried to connect my all share dongle, but couldn't able to make stable connection as it was giving hardware error on phone screen.

Then I installed your custom rom, but still it was the same issue and the connection could be established. I have tried this with two Note III's and I have tried to connect to dongle with a different phone (which is not rooted and on stock rom samsung s4.) and the connection was ok, my all share dongle was working good... the problem existed after rooting the phone...

Than you have sent me a fix.

I flash it but I stuck on logo screen.

Then you told me to wait for your next rom release to check again...

Now I am checking back the the all share cast is not working. I cant make and connection to all share cast dongle...

got me wrong...
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] :
hello doc,

I want to report that SView issue was finally solved (probably you have already some reports).

thank you for great ROM and for solving the issues very fast.

as I understood, you are preparing the new version?

is it continuation? or it will be the alternative to the K1?

about new bootloader - if I do not have the issue with charging and disconnection of the phone, should I still flash it?

what is the benefit?

thank you

[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] stanley08:

[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] alien0101:
Any one there to reply???

Doc Ketan I can see you have posted new ROM and my current ROM is with buid number ML1. So If I upgrade with new ROM NA6, I suppose everything should work fine..

But I can also see bootloader NA6_BL.tar.rar - . can someone plz explain why we need to install new bootloader..what advantages we will get..

Also How to install this new bootloader..do we need to use ODIN for it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] pxdx:
Download Stock 4.4.2 and flash it. Root it again, flash Recovery, wipe everything and Flash Dr. Ketan v2 KitKat.

Meanwhile I have already started downloading. Yay!
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] alien0101:
Not able to understand why I need to download stock 4.4.2 and then install Dt Ketan Kitkat ..why cannotI just install V2 Kitkat on current ROM
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] saj2001ind:
no need to flash stock kitkat rom alltogether....flash K2 as usual by wiping in recoivery and Doc has given bootloader to flash it separately by ODIN but even thats not mandatory
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] pxdx:
Because you are on old Bootloader and you can't charge the device when it's switched off, it will reboot automatically.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] alien0101:
Okay thanks..but what is advantage of flashing bootloader?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] pxdx:
Yes correct. Not mandatory. But I prefer flashing stock ROM 1st especially when it has changed from JB to KK. One also needs to flash KK CWM Recovery via ODIN.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] saj2001ind:
one bug is when phone is off and you try to recharge it, the phone boots, this will be solved if you update bootloader....other benefits I dont know and want to know from someone here
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] Shamms:
Hi Dr,

What is the main difference between K1 and K2?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] sentiere:
which one ?

BootloaderMJ7.tar.md5 or NA6_BL.tar.md5 ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] ssa193:
NA6 BL my fren ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] p_m:
INU odexed Ver. 2

Dr....

I have updated ver.2 INU Odexed. Its much better than Deodexed one. I am using 430 DPI and found the following.

1 Gallery is not balanced on screen, Shows half of images on the right side of screen.

2 8 extra toggles on notification area are good but not centered.

3 8 extra toggles if have the colour scheme as the stock toggles would much better.

Thanks for providing such smooth and stable mods.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] tranquility:
Hi Doc, just updated to K2 (w/o wipe actually) everything seems to be ok but volume up torchlight is still not working

also uploading to yandex disk will give later mirror link
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] sibinn:
In exposed app setting set gallery to 480 dpi and reboot

Recognized developer of two kids
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
It's new and full ROM because this one is Odex version.

One known issue with old bootloader is phone gets restart if you charge while device off.

Though others are not visible but can still cause minor issue like wifi instability, random reboot etc.

You need not to flash bootloader in case

-If you have flash full stock ROM with Odin

-If you have updated device to 4.4.2 with OTA

otherwise flash new kitkat bootloader from post #2 after flashing K2/any other 4.4.2 based ROM.

Thank you. Of course patient won't suffer, I have did it hurrily just bcoz of that only, y'day was sunday so i have time to finish, otherwise difficult to manage on monday.

Paypal have different plicy for indian users. If you want to donate to any indian user, you just have to send your paypal ID and amount you want to donate to reciepient. after that he/she can send you payment request and reply to that you can pay mentioned amount.

Just read my above reply.

Major difference is K2 is Odexed. and that's why should have better performance and battery as well RAM management.

Oh name itself not self explanatory??

1.Sert gallery to 480 DPI with xposed App setting

2.bcoz system UI is not multi DPI but I have thought another way, I will provide extra option for each DPI, may be I can add extra toggle for different DPI. like 430 user can get 1 more while 320 DPI user may get 2-3 more.

3.Again this will became more demanding and user seek for same combination with toggle style, May some themer can work on it. but I have selected is transparent and can be match to your notification background and seems sober too.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] ididnotgetabetterid:
Why is everyone using 430 dpi. Why can't they stick to stock? Can someone give me heads up about dpi's.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Our device is quite big and text and resolution quite bigger, If you set to 430 DPI you may get extra space on screen. Though it's personal taste and your eye is good enough then lesset DPI looks pretty well (I am 44 + so can't much adjust less than 430 :p )
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
I didn't said it working too.

Will work on it later.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] saj2001ind:
hey Doc about this "2 8 extra toggles on notification area are good but not centered." If I dont want these extra toogles on notification area , is there some option in aroma to keep it stock only ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] :
hello doc,

thank you for feedback.

I'll flash the K2 when downloaded.

as I understood about bootloader: If I have flashed the stock 4.4.2 and then your K1 - no need to flash the bootloader?

can you explain the reason?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
In aroma select one of battery mod (percent / stock whatever you like from very first two option in mod section) and again select any other systemUI mods like soft power button/internet meter in mod section (skip 8 extra toggle this time) and lastly select toggle theme again if you are using any and flash.

Stock ROM itself having bootloader, so need to reflash it again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] pxdx:
I flashed it over Stock 4.4.2 and everything (that I wanted) is perfect.

Just on Home screen when we press the Home Button twice, TouchWiz crashes. Tried clearing Data of TouchWiz yet it's happening. Any idea why?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] saj2001ind:
thanks for a quick reply..one query on bootloader

1) I Flash new bootloader through ODIN AFTER I flash K2 ?

2) Will the above wipe internal / external memory etc ?

3) While selecting the md5 bootloader file in ODIN, I select this "Bootloader" button section in ODIN ? what options in ODIN to check uncheck ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] tranquility:
mirror for K2 on Yandex Disk http://yadi.sk/d/jEBS-g4xGneaY
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] :
when I flashed through ODIN, I didn't select the Flash Boot Loader.

in this case I better do it now as proposed by you?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Try clearing wipe cache and delvic cache

Have you reboot after wiping data ?

1.Yes

2.No

3.Same as we flashing stock ROM. but here you have nothing to select for PDA.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Though it would have flashed bootloader. basicaly if you select PDA to flash bootloader file then also it work. PDA is common tab to flash all fractions like AP CSC modem recovery and cache. it can flash all stuffs packed in tar.

It doesn't flash only if you have removed sboot.bin file from tar file

In case you have doubt, just install info app from play store and check your BL, if it is NA6 then no need to flash again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] :
I installed the app (thank you for info) and the Boot Loader Version is N900XXUCMK2.

should I update to the new one?

can you re-add your instruction how to do it? (I'm on K1 now)
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
simple download NA6_BL zip file attached to post #2 and unzip it. you will get NA6_BL.tar.md5

Select that NA6_BL.tar.md5 for bootloader tab of Odin, keep rest all option default (same as flashing stock ROM). attached device to PC in download mode and flash.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] :
thank you doc. I did it successfully.

---------- Post added at 02:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------

question: the K2 installation on top of K1 - should we do the full wipe? or just cache and dalvik is enough.

thank you
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Best way go clean install
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] Shamms:
My Info app tell me that I have N900XXUBMJ1 bootloader. How old is that and should I also flash the new one from post 2 after I install K2?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] :
doc, I flashed in this way, and in "info" app I still see "N900XXUCMK2".

is it correct?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Ok flash with pda tab and let me know

Also attach screen shot from info
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] saj2001ind:
you mean flash the bootloader NA6 with PDA Tab in ODIN ? I though you said earlier to use Bootloader tab to flash bootloader file ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] ssa193:
If we do clean install.. so after that we just restore all apps + data with TB without issue Dr K?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
You can flash with pda too.when we flashing rom that having bootloader and we flashing with pda isn't?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
You can but use tb restore fixer from play store after re storing with titanium
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] saj2001ind:
thats right...so what is the best way which you have done successfully pls tell us, dont want to brick the device....with ODIN we need to be very carefull
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
I need not to flash separately bcoz I have flashed full rom with ODIN. If bootloader is correct then no reason to break.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] saj2001ind:
in that case I guess we have to then root and flash TWRP and then go about flashing custom roms...

so for root does the cf root method we used in 4.3 still works or how do we root it then ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] :
hi doc,

I flashed from PDA as well - no change.

then I did again by selecting the "Phone Bootloader Update" and did the flash in both tabs - no changes.

see screenshot attached from "info" app
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Why you should root if you have to flash custom rom? Simply flash Cwm on stock rom and flash custom rom.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
It's weird

Can you check charming in off stat solved?

ODIN log was successful?

Have you flashed 4.4 rom or not yet?

Anyone tried flashing from Stock without full wipe? Any issues? :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] Shamms:
Dr,

I flashed NA6 bootloader in both the methods mentioned by you, selecting in odin as PDA and as BOOTLOADER, but it still shows it as my old bootloader. Nothing changed.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Switch off device and plugin charger and let me know it restarts device OR charging starts with device off.

one possibiity is CWM may not capable to complete action. DO one thing flash stock recovery with ROM aroma (K1/K2 whatever) then flash bootloader and check it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] Shamms:
Yes doctor. I switched off the mobile and connected it to power source and it restarted.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Ok follow what I said in previous msg

1.flash stock recovery

2.reboot

3.flash bootloader

4.reboot and check bootloader info
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] Shamms:
Doc,

One doubt, You asked us to unzip the rar, extract the file and flash it using odin. If we are using odin to flash this file then how will recovery impact?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Bootloader stuff push to device via recovery even you have used ODIN. Through we don't need to do any things . You have to just flash bootloader and rest of thing will happen automatically.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] saj2001ind:
Hey Doc, quick question pls, if I download kitkat full rom from sammobile and try to flash it via ODIN, will that wipe all my internal and external sd ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] Shamms:
You want me to flash the zip file via recovery ot via odin?

I flashed stock recovery using k2 and then used the same method of odin to flash bootloader, same result. No change in bootloader.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
no.

No no

1. run rom file k1/k2 and from recovery section select flash stock recovery option and flash.

2. After device reboot normally, swith off and put device in download mode and flash na6_bl. Tar.md5 whish you have extracted (with pic odin)

3.reboot and check bootloader with info
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] saj2001ind:
it seems we have to flash full rom via ODIN, I am downloading "N900XXUDNA6_N900ODDDNA3_INU.zip" through sammobile....Doc pls help us to know if we do this will it wipe internal and external sd ? and what is next step to flash ur K2 rom after stock ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
I don't think you need this, just first try what's I said its should successful.

How to remove the applied theme from this ROM?

So I've been using this rom for a day. Still can't say anything about the battery life. Overall a pretty good stable ROM. Loved the tweaks and installation options.

It's a bit a laggy though. It's not as smooth as stock ROM.

Anyway my main question is that, I've flashed one of Dr. Keatan's theme using recovery but I don't know how to get rid of it, how to revert to the stock theme?

help please
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] :
I think you should re-flash the ROM without wipe.

make a backup before this.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] Shamms:
Ok got it. It worked now. Also switched-off the mobile and tested, it is no more rebooting.
